The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces, representing over 5,400 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, dedicated to investigating, prosecuting, and developing effective responses to internet crimes against children.
One of the best tools we have to prevent internet crimes against children is education. Educating the public through developing and delivering public awareness and prevention programs is also one of the many important initiatives of the ICAC Task Force Program. Since 1998, members of the ICAC Task Force Program have delivered more than 194,000 community outreach presentations to local communities across the nation.
